Such is Joe Chu's dislike for Houston Nutt that I believe at one time he tried to legally change his name to Joe Ihatenutt. Or maybe that was just his e-mail address. With Ole Miss making its pool debut this week in the fourth Thursday game in a row, the question is, can Joe and others with such a passionate dislike of Nutt bring themselves to go with the Rebels (ranked No. 4 in the AP poll), or do they go against them all season and hope to take that much more pleasure in a defeat? Also making their debuts in the pool this week are John Vratsinas's Hawkeyes, John Sullivan's Red Raiders, and Danny Koteras's Cougars. So blame them if you pick any of those teams and they lose. Be sure to note the bonus points available from Iowa if you are looking for a big score. Also, there's the unpredictable ACC game of the week. You guys just be glad the TCU-Clemson games isn't on TV and thus ineligible to make the list of games.
So for $800 and the Ramon Escobar Trophy, which Janis Morrow plans to place next to her autographed picture of Sarah Palin, select your winners and e-mail them back to me by 6 p.m. Friday.
